Reseña del libro "Larry's Island (en Inglés)"

"Shucks, Joyce!" Clive Smith, CEO of the world's largest petroleum conglomerate, said to his chief corporate attorney. "These solar guys could do to us what the digital camera did to Kodak and Polaroid when nobody needed to buy their film anymore. Nobody would need to buy our oil and gas." Joyce Adams had mixed loyalties. Her husband, the deranged genius Dr. Larry Adams, had disappeared after sailing to an uninhabited outer banks island. All that was found was a notebook with a renewable energy scheme that could put Clive out of business. Two crucial pages had been torn from the notebook. Where was Larry? Where were the missing pages, and who had torn them from Larry's notebook? And who was trying to patent Larry's invention to keep it off the market forever? This novel takes place after the vast petroleum reserves offshore from Cape Hatteras are developed. The USA goes on a petroleum binge while climate, health, and the environment deteriorate. Only the genius of a deranged mathematician-his career washed up and his marriage in ruins-can prevent the collapse of civilization, but the mighty forces of the petroleum profiteers are determined to maintain the status quo. Advanced praise for Larry's Island. Ross Gelbspan, author of The Heat is On and Boiling Point. "Larry's Island is a thrilling narrative that brings us all face to face with the mindless recklessness with which we are careening toward catastrophe." Devra Davis, author of When Smoke Ran like Water and The Secret History of the War on Cancer. "The remarkable characters of Larry's Island confront corporate greed in this suspenseful portrait of a world on the verge of disarray and destruction."
